Abstract: This paper discusses key findings and policy proposals for modernizing Hungary's subnational government system the perspective of fiscal decentralization, local capacity building, and development of a competitive credit market. Hungary has been a pioneer in local government reform among transition economies; it has decentralized the state administration, re-established the full autonomy of local governments, and tightened budget constraints.
